Quite a few I'd imagine.. here's a short rundown since we made the move to Tassie in March 2000 to the end of the 2017/18 Trout Season..Sinsemilla wrote:It's amazing to think.. Imagine how many casts in a lifetime!

Adrian's (meppstas) Trout Seasons 2000 – 2018
Here's my stats since moving down to Tasmania back in March 2000. The first 4 years were a little on the low side (catch rate) due to me getting to know the rivers and where I could get in and fish them. After that and getting to know several farmers, land owners and the purchase of a pair of waders the fishing really went up from there on. Having access to many more sections of rivers and wading them really opened up some great fishing seasons for me from then on that's for sure.
